The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

a fast-paced build-and-shoot game where you constantly adapt your ship mid-run through procedurally generated levels.

What players say

Players enjoy the ship-building and say it is cute and relaxing at first, becoming more engaging by the final sector, but many find it gets boring quickly and note the pacing is slow. Controller support is broken for some. A run takes roughly an hour.
